Typical scopes of work

Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Dronfield, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Dronfield vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

Can a fire shutter in Dronfield be fitted to any wall?

No. It must be fitted to a wall of the type covered by the manufacturer's test evidence, with fire-stopping as detailed. If your wall differs, we explain what building work is needed before the shutter is ordered.

Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Dronfield?

Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.

How long does fire shutter installation take at a Dronfield site?

A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.
